Overview
The British Journal of Biomedical Science is the official journal of the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS).
Quality
The British Journal of Biomedical Science adheres to rigorous quality standards and industry-leading best practice. Testament to this is the fact that it is recognized by, and an active member of, regulatory and ethical organizations across the publishing industry. They include COPE, OASPA - Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association, and the DOAJ - Directory of Open Access Journals. Furthermore, we are pleased to say that BJBS has been awarded the DOAJ Seal which is awarded to journals that demonstrate best practice in open-access publishing.
Mission & scope
The British Journal of Biomedical Science is committed to publishing high quality original research that represents a clear advance in biomedical science and reviews that summarise recent advances in this field. The overall aim of the Journal is to provide a platform for the dissemination of new and innovative research and technology on the diagnosis and management of disease that is of interest to the practicing laboratory scientist. We welcome in vitro and in vivo experimental studies that explore the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying human disease, in addition to studies that translate these findings to clinical diagnosis and patient management.
